Does anyone eat nuts? I love them and they help me feel full, I don't eat a lot because they are lots of calories. I put them in yougart or cottage cheese. Do you eat nuts? What kind and how much?

    pistachios. I try to eat them just about every day.

    I also have some walnuts in my greek yogurt along with blueberries or raspberries.

    Yup, love them. Usually almonds, macadamia, cashews, pecans, walnuts. Mostly almonds. I bag them in 1-2 oz portions, since my fiancée and I work together I'll know can have half a bag for a snack. I also make nut butter with almonds. I'll put 1-2 cups of almonds in my food processor with coconut oil and blend it for a while. I'll stop and scoop down the sides and possibly add more oil. This last time I added 2 tbsp. butter as well as some liquid stevia drops. It's delicious, I hide it in the fridge so I don't eat too much!!!

    Hi,
    I try to add nuts or seeds each day. I generally eat almonds and cashews, but I also eat walnuts. I agree that they should be eaten in moderation because they are high in calories, but they also contain wonderful nutrients and the "good fats" that help lower the bad cholesterol in our bodies. Sunflower seeds are good for you as well. They are great to add to salads.

    Good luck with your weight loss goals!

    Mostly peanuts(yes I know technically not a nut), cashews, or soaked almonds. 1/3 cup max daily. Brought some unsalted peanuts in a ziplock when I went to see "The Equalizer" today. Denzel is the man!!!

    Absolutely. I love them. Raw almonds are my favorite, but I also love salted pistachios. I also make my own almond milk, which is delicious. Soak raw almonds for 12-24 hours. Blend in your blender, strain (I use a nut milk bag, but I know you can use cheesecloth). Super easy and sooo flavor packed!

    I love tamari flavoured almonds. I have made them myself, but just buying them at Costco is easier. They are a healthy fat, if only one can be moderate about them, which is hard with something soooo tasty!

    Unsalted raw, organic: for my fat based meals I choose macadamias, walnuts, pignoli, & filberts/hazelnuts. For a snack I choose cashews or almonds as they have a lower ratio of fats to carbs. I also like to use pepitas/pumpkin seeds in my breakfast cereal or yogourt. I spend between $550 and $750 on nuts for the year (I buy them in bulk fresh in early November and keep them in my cold storage room.) They're vital in my maintenance plan.

    I like to put sunflower seeds and chia seeds in my Greek yogurt for breakfast. I also snack on little 100 calorie packs of flavored almonds. I love pistachios too, but they are so expensive, so I don't have them often.

    I love almost all nuts, but right now I have a "thing" for the chili lime flavored almonds that Blue Diamond sells. I keep the can in my car and have some as a mid-morning snack on the days I work out. If I didn't keep them in the car, they would be gone the same day I bought them.

    I love nuts, my main go to is raw almonds. I have to be careful though because they do not give me that full feeling so I really have to count them out before eating them. I also love nut butter, I can eat a jar of peanut or almond butter very easily and really have to watch.
